This thread inspired me to read this fascinating interview with #PatriciaFranklin who played #JuneWhitfield 's sidekick in CARRY ON GIRLS but had an incredible stage career while popping in to do bits of CARRY ON's and shows like FRAUD SQUAD (below) carryonfan.blogspot.com/2018/03/carr...

Interesting that he says the Motel setting is a smart new twist on a Boarding House, rather than, "what's a motel? Nobody knows what a motel is." (as 2020's journalists would have it). Obviously part of the Southern liberal elite.

I've never seen the original TV21 Identicode decoder, but for anyone who wants to read the secret messages, this is my guess at the code.
